THE HUMAN SPACEFLIGHT BLOG: From the Space Shuttle to Beyond

Image of the Day... Check out this awesome NASA poster touting its Commercial Crew Program. I wish Congress would just relax and let SpaceX, Boeing, the Orbital Sciences Corporation and NASA's other partners in the private sector do their thang (yes, I had to spell it that way) without worrying about funding. How can one who's even a slight space aficionado not be excited for the launch of Dragon C2 at the end of this month? I'm eager as heck to see SpaceX's baby get grappled by the International Space Station's robotic arm on arrival day (which is targeted for May 3 if Dragon launches on April 30 as scheduled). You can bet I'll make this Blog slow to load up by posting tons of pictures of a commercially-made vehicle safely berthed at a giant government-made orbital complex that is the space shuttle's legacy. That is all.
